About Westminster at Lake Ridge

Westminster at Lake Ridge is a senior living community that offers a variety of services and amenities to ensure the comfort, safety, and enjoyment of its residents. The community is staffed by a team of over 200 professionals who undergo extensive training in various areas including flu prevention, active shooter response, harassment, dementia care, and other necessary skills tailored to their specific departments.

Safety and Security

The community prioritizes the safety of its residents with several measures in place. The building is secured with locked exterior doors, with the main lobby being the only accessible entrance during the day. A concierge desk is staffed from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., and visitors are required to check in and have their temperature taken. Outside of these hours, a key fob is needed to access the building. Additionally, the facility is equipped with video surveillance, fire sprinklers, and offers 24-hour security both inside the building and around the campus.

Resident Resources

Residents have access to a range of resources including Ingleside at Home, which provides hourly assistance for personal care. The community also features a short-term rehab center, an outpatient therapy office offering physical, speech, and occupational therapy, a medical clinic with doctors and specialists, a full-time chaplain, and a social worker.

Transportation Services

Westminster at Lake Ridge offers transportation services to local supermarkets, pharmacies, and banks twice a week. The 'Tuesday About Town' program allows residents to travel anywhere within a 10-mile radius. Additionally, volunteer residents provide free transportation to medical appointments, and there is an option to hire a driver for trips within the D.C. area.

Dining Experience

The community provides a meal plan for each resident, with two dining venues available: a casual bistro open for all meals and a formal dining room for dinner. A popular Sunday brunch is also offered. Residents receive a certain amount of dining credits per calendar quarter, and all homes are equipped with full kitchens, including appliances, microwave, dishwasher, and a washer and dryer.

Addressing Resident Complaints

For handling complaints, there is a resident council that serves as an intermediary between the residents and management. An open-door policy allows residents to request meetings with the executive director, and there are weekly director's dialogues for updates and discussions. A suggestion committee is also in place to ensure that resident feedback is directed to the appropriate department and addressed promptly.

Communication with Resident Families

Communication with families of independent living residents requires consent due to privacy considerations. However, the community encourages family involvement and offers various communication channels such as email, letters, and in-person meetings, especially for families of those in assisted living and skilled nursing.

Respite Care and Short-Term Stay

Westminster at Lake Ridge provides options for respite care or short-term stays, with a daily rate for a private suite in the short-term rehab facility.

Pets are welcome at the community, and there is even a dedicated dog park for residents and their furry companions to enjoy.
